King of the Zombies 1.5/5

Posted on April 26, 2014 by Mark

Rather lame comedy horror from the 1940s that’s not funny or horrific. It also relies on racist stereotyping for its light relief, but the main comic relief does have some comic timing talent, but unfortunately his material is desperately poor. … Continue reading →

Repulsion 4/5

Posted on April 24, 2014 by Mark

One of those movies that represents a primal nightmare, in this case of a single woman who is not comfortable with men. She hates her sister’s boyfriend leaving his razor etc in the bathroom over her things, she hates any … Continue reading →

Milius 4/5

Posted on April 24, 2014 by Mark

Compelling but fun documentary about a guy who writes great, grand dialogue, and was a peer of Spielberg, Lucas and all. Really fun to see what he added to the 70s and 80s moviescape. The world is a better place … Continue reading →

The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl 2.5/5

Posted on April 20, 2014 by Mark

Rather childishly written CGI-heavy adventure by Robert Rodriguez. Some of the visuals are cool, some look very dodgy, and it plays like a techno-Oz story. Gets better as it goes.

Masque of the Red Death 4.5/5

Posted on April 18, 2014 by Mark

I saw this before as a teenager, and thought it was deliberately overwrought and contrived just to fill the running time, and I had that general opinion of Corman’s Poe cycle. However, I watched The Haunted Palace for the first … Continue reading →

Miami Vice: Brother’s Keeper 4.5/5

Posted on April 15, 2014 by Mark

Well, as I watched the first half, I couldn’t help thinking ‘this really isn’t as good as I remember it’. Then we saw Sonny Crockett lived on a yacht. With an alligator called Elvis. Then we saw a judge with … Continue reading →

We Are What We Are (2010) 3/5

Posted on April 15, 2014 by Mark

An everyday story of a dysfunctional family who happen to be ritualistic cannibals… The film has all the elements to work and be great, with nice camerawork, acting and tension, but it’s lack of proper setup or explanation, even through … Continue reading →

Filth 4/5

Posted on April 9, 2014 by Mark

Wow, a real tour-de-force with McAvoy as a complete asshole, who we get to see as a tortured, lonely man in this Scottish comedy version of Bad Lieutenant. This film is funny, repulsive, tragic in turns, and it did feel … Continue reading →

Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa 3.5/5

Posted on April 6, 2014 by Mark

Reasonably funny and diverting comedy from the cringe-tastic Alan Partridge, that works well if you watch it in 2 or 3 servings, rather than one sitting – Partridge is definitely a characters that works better in several small doses than … Continue reading →

Pygmalion 4.5/5

Posted on April 6, 2014 by Mark

Terrific movie based on the play by George Bernard Shaw (and later adapted into the musical My Fair Lady), with funny, sad, angry scenes all mixed up together, and a great performance by Wendy Hiller as the brave, put-upon Eliza. … Continue reading →

Stridulum aka The Visitor 3.5/5

Posted on April 6, 2014 by Mark

Completely bananas movie with an impressive cast (John Huston! Shelley Winters! Glen Ford! Franco Nero as Jesus Christ!) and with a young Lance Henrikson, this is a nutty cross between The Omen and the theatrical cut of Highlander 2, with … Continue reading →

The Haunting 4/5

Posted on April 4, 2014 by Mark

Lovely, atmospheric, tense, watchable. Not scary, but mesmeric. It adheres very closely in both story and tone to the Shirley Jackson book it’s based on, even using parts of the beautifully written opening and closing paragraphs of that book in … Continue reading →
